Oracle Red Bull Racing driver Max Verstappen enters the Las Vegas Grand Prix trailing McLaren's Lando Norris by 49 points in the Formula 1 drivers' championship, with only three races left in the season.

Despite the points gap, Verstappen is still favoured and optimistic about his chances, especially given Red Bull's potential advantage on the Las Vegas track. However, the math is clear: if Verstappen loses 9 points or more to Norris in Las Vegas, he will be mathematically eliminated from the title race.

For Verstappen to remain in contention, he must finish at least first or second, while hoping Norris scores significantly fewer points. If Verstappen finishes third or lower while Norris wins, his chance of securing a fifth consecutive world title would effectively end at Las Vegas.
